A special from Naco, Ariz., says: P Thirty-five Mexicans and six Americans were killed Friday at Cananea, r 'Mexico, forty miles south of Naco, ^ where is located the great copper g camps of Colonel W. C. Greene. d The trouble arose over the demand js of the Mexicans for an increase in S( wages from $3.50 to $5.00 per day. ti Every effort was made to pacify n the excited Mexicans. However, be* h tween 4 and 5 o'clock Friday aften- c noon the Mexicans opened fire on t< the Americans with the result as c stated. G There has been bad blood at Can- j ianea for some time, and only a month a ago the home of the superintendent t -of the mine was dynamited by un- ti kuo?rn parties. Friday one of the po~ ^ lico^.-:ii of the city was killed by an q .Anuvlcan, who claimed it was a per sen:-' grievance he had for the Mex- 0 lean. This started the outbreak. n Colonel W. C. Greene, president e of the Cananea Consolidated Copper s company, wires B. A. Packard, mana- c ger cf his cattle ranch, that forty- ^ one men had been killed. Ameri- p cau Consul W. J.

The American volunteers who went across the line at Naco with Governor Ysabel of Sonera on Saturday morning, returned to Bis- c bee at 5 o'clock Sunday morning. u Their services were no longer need- r ed, although their presence there dur- d ing Saturday before the arrival of Colonel Kosterlisky with Mexican ru- s * rales, held the situation in check. s The town is now under martial k law, and Colonel Kosterlisky is dfearming Americans and Mexicans r alike.

SHADOWS OVER MADRID, loyal Pair In Great Fear?Bomb Kill ed 20 People and Wounded 60. The nervous tension of the populace f Madrid, Spain, has been wrought :p to the highest pitch by the terible events of King Alfonso's weding day.

BOMBS AND BELLS Aftermath of Alfonso and Victoria's Wedding. SIXTEEN PEOPLE KILLED One Bomb Was Fortunately Deflected and Lives of King and Newly Made Queen Were Saved Procession Scattered. At Madrid, 'Spain, Thursday at noon, King Alfonzo and Princess Victoria of Battenburg were married in the Church of San Jeronimo. Just as they were pronounced man and wife, the news was signalled to the waiting crowds, and all Madrid broke Into frantic demonstrations of joy, while cannon boomed and church bells chimed. Entering the royal coach the king and queen of Spain began the return journey to the palace amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm, the throngs shouting "Long live Queen Victoria!" Just as they were nearing the end of the progress tb the royal palace, o hnmh n&rrowlv missed ending their lives. An official statement indicates the possibility that two bombs were thrown, one exploding in the air by striking a telegraph wire, and the other falling so close to the royal carriage that a groom at the head of the wheel horses was killed, as also were the wheel horses. At least sixteen persons tfere killed and a large number wounded. Suspicion points to a Catalonian named Manuel Duran, as the leader of the regicidal conspiracy, and he Is In prison awaiting examination. The following were killed: Captain Parrcsa, commanding part of the king's escort; Lieutenant Reysient; Lieutenant Pendergast; six soldiers; the Marquise of Colosa; her daughter; Don Antonio Calvos his niece, aged six years; Jose Sola; military; Luis Fonseca; one joyal groom, who was leading a horse drawing the coach carrying the king and queen. Several of those killed were standing on the balcony of the house, from which the bomb was thrown. The explosion occurred just as the royal couple were about to enter the palace. The route of the cortege had been diverted from Arsenal street to Mayor street, owing to popular desires. The procession had just passed through M!ayor street, and was about to turn into the Esplanade leading to the palace, when an explosion shook the buildings in the vicinity, stunning a large number of people and throwing the cortege into, inextricable confusion. The royal coach was brought to a sudden stop by the shock, officers and soldiers of the escort falling to the ground about the equerry and" horses that had been killed. The "screams of the terrified multitude mingled with - T tttoq (m. the groans 01 iue u^us. *?, ? mediately seen that the royal coach was Intact, except, as It had been damaged by flying splinters. King Alfonso immediately alighted and assisted Queen Victoria out of the carriage. They then entered another coach and were driven swiftly to the palace. All this happened so quickly that the people away from the immediate vicinity were not aware of the tragedy. Soon, however,, there appeared the empty royal coach with two horses missing and the other spattered with blood, several of them bleeding from wounds. The grooms and drivers looked deathly pale in the spangled unifon^. Then came a boy shouting that a bomb had been thrown at the king. The appearance of the king and queen in a coach brought out delirious ovations. The fact was reoognized that the sovereigns had been spared. In the meantime the scene of the tragedy presented a horrible spectacle, with dead men and horses lying about literally torn to pieces. Intense excitement prevailed, the mob invading the streets, while the guards soiight to maintain order and block the approaching streets. The bodies were wrapped up in blankets and removed on litters, while the wounded were taken to hospitals In ambulances. The pavement was covered with blood and the upper stories of the buildings nearest were spattered with it. The place from which the bomb was thrown is a boarding house. The tragic event and the narrow margin by which King Alfonso and the new queen escaped death has caused the brilliancy of the royal wedding to be temporally forgotten, although it was to have inaugurated a period of unprecedented festivities. A FAKE, OR A FACT? Nihilists in Portland, Oregon, Plan to "Remove'' President Roosevelt.

MAKES BANQUET SPEECH Explains Some Inside Intricacies in Connection with Great Ditch and the Situation as It Prevails at Present on Isthmus. One of the largest, most representative and enthusiastically interested as fcemeiages 01 auouutlu> w<u uiai. &auiered at the New Kimball Wednesday night to hear and welcome Theodort Perry Shonts, chairman of the isthmian canal commission. The big banquet room of the New Kimball was crowded, the guests coming at the invitation of the Atlanta chamber of commerce. At seven o'clock a delightful buffet supper was served, and it was not until after eight o'clock that Mr. Shonts was introduced for an address. However, Just before making the regular address which he had prepared, Mr. Shonts stated that he had been asked a number of questions by the members of the chamber of commerce regarding the Panama canal, and he would take great pleasure in answering them. Mr. Shonts, in answering these questions, said in part: "When the commission assumed charge of its present undertaking, we found affairs at the Washington end in a chaotic condition. Our first work was at this end to create a Washington office of administration for supplies, accounts, finances, etc. "Preparing to start for the canal in June, we received tne resignation of Engineer Wallace, and for that reason our trip was delayed, and it was July before we arrived at Panama. Here we found a state of affairs little short of panic among the employees, and it was evident that the least trouble of any kind would have preciptated such disastrous results as to end in a real panic, which would prove of terrible detrim*. it to the entire undertaking. I do not mean to reflect on any one, but merely state what were the existing conditions. "Governor Magoon was holding the fort steadily, and the sanitary engineers were doing their work effectively, although it may have seemed to others that the? were giving a very great deal of attention \o theory. But they had accomplished much, and had proved that their theories were all rigbt. After careful examination, the first thing we did was to stop the work that was going on, close down the shovels and prepare a regular campaign ?cr the purpose of. getting ready to work on a sound and practical basis. Sickness was on every hand, supplies were secured only at enormous prices, and there were some hardly able to earn the real necessities. "So all the digging was stopped, and all available force set to work building quarters to afford relief to all classes of laborers. Even the American clerks were then living in illsmelling and unsanitary buildings. We fumigated each and every house. We built administration houses and the usual accessories. In place of the seven or nine thousand men at that time, with sickness and fear on every side, we now have a force of twentyseven thousand men who are happy, and at the time I left Panama the percentage of sickness was less there than it was In New York city, although I should add that this was the healthiest season in Panama. "We built sewers and roads, and gave Panama the first clearing up in two hundred years. We built waterworks and have water from mountain streams, with four reservoirs of Iflrce r?flnnrltv After eAmnlotlnor ' r-x-V ' vuiiiyivnujj UVtter health conditions building hotels and mess balls, the laborers now have houses fit to live in, and conditions fit for work. CONSTABLE OUTSPRINTED MOB. Landed Alleged Murderer in Jail After Exciting Chase. Pursued by a mob, a constable from Tipton county arrived in Memphis, Tenn., Thursday with Will Williams, a negro prl?cr, and placed him in the Shelby county jail for safe keeping. Williams, with two brothers, is charged with killing Jack Bid die, a weil known farmer in l.pion county, recently. It is reported that one of Williams' brothers was lynched by & mob in the woods near the scene of the crime. BONDSMEN ASKED RELEASE. Their Action Caused Banker DuBom to Be Landed in Jait. The bondsmen of Gordon DuBose, former president of the First National bank of Ensley, Ala., asked for release. and Mr. DuBose was confined in the county jail. He was arrested several days ago by federal officials on the charge of misapplying $48,000 of the bank's funds. ' - ? . ' SENATE IS THE WINNER. Conferees Make Few Changes in Rat# Bill as Passed by Upper House. "Jim Crow" Feature Cut Out. A Washington special says: In sadness and in sorrow Senator Tillman has been compelled to abandon his "jim crow" car amendment to the rate hi1!. The pressure upon the republican conferees, brought through the ins!?cence of the northern negroes, was too strong. They forced Senator Tillman to recede from his advoccacy of that provision in order to insure the incorporation into the bill of the five days' notice preliminary to a hearing upon application for a temporary injunction. This Is one of the most important features of the bill, and by holding it as a club over SenHill >- V^J it ^ aior i iiiLuau & uuau, uu? reyuuuuiu conferees were able to compel him to abandon his fight for the aouthern negroes. As agreed upon by the- conferees, the rate bill is a complete victory for the senate. This was, however, to be expected for the reason that the many amendments put on by the senate strengthened the bill, and there was no difficulty in inducing the house conferees to agree to almost all these. One feature of the conference agreement is the striking out of sleeping cars. This may bring a lively fight In one or both houses. There are adready charges that this was accomplished through undue influence brought upon Senators Elkins and Culloin, and there is talk of some sensational charges. TRIBUTE PAID CONFEDERATES. Great Thrcng Attends Exercises in National uemexery at wasnington. Sunday several thousand persons visited the national cemetery at Arlington, in Washington, where, with music and oratory, tribute was paid to the confederate soldiers whose bodies lie at rest beside the soldiers of the north. The exercises were held in the confederate section of the cemetery, where lie 267 confederates who died in hospitals and prisons In the vicinity of Washington, and whose bodies were placed there through the act of the late President McKinley. The services were under the auspices of the Confederate Veterans Association of Washington, the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Southern Relief Society. A feature of the exercises was the unvailing of the floral " Southern Cross" by Miss Elizabeth Gould. It was the gift of A, J. MioLaurin Camp No. 305 United Confederate Veterans of the District of Columbia.

In Resisting Capture Morale* Kills Gi/ard and Then Himself. a A Madrid special says: The capture and suicide Saturday night of Manuel Morales, the chief suspect in the bomb outrage against King Alfonso and Queen Victoria adds another dramatic chapter to the incident surrounding the royal wedding. Morales was recognized in the little town of Torre Jon De Ardos, near Madrid. A guard sought to detain him, but Morales shot him dead. Then he turned to flee, but a number of inhabitants of the town were upon him and turning the revolver upon himself he sent a fatal shot in the region of his heart SENATOR BURTON IS MUM. tl/HI SUA M?

ELEVEN DEADjSCOREHURT J rsgs Fated Car Contained Crowd of Pleat's ure Seekers and Was in Chargs of Inexperienced Motorman, Who is Blamed. \ Eleven persons were killed and 74 twenty injured through the overturning of a large trolley car on the Rhode Irland Company's line at Moore's corner, East Providence, just | after l o'clock, Saturday morning. ^ ^ The car, which was of the open type *|| variety, and had fifteen seats, was . >| well filled with a party of Thornton people, who were returning home after a day's outing at Crescent park, * a well known pleasure resort on the M Providence river, several miles below the city. There were two people among the - ^ dead who could not be identified. Mbore's Corner, the scene of the accident, is five miles from Provi- vjg dence, and is situated midway of iw Crescent Park and the town of East Providence. lOn the Crescent Park side of -Jl| Moore's Corner, there is a heavy grade, at the foot of which is a sharp J| curve. From the meagre reports received after the accident, it Is not apparent whether the brakes failed to work. It is known, however, that the car came down the grade -::||| at a rapid rate of speed and, striking the curve, shot the rails and was JSH overturned. The car left the rails with such great force that the trucks left the body of the car and jumped more than 20 feet from the track. -^19 The spot where the accident hap- . pened is in a sparsely settled section ' and it was some little time after the :|a wreck before the news reached the city. Ambulances and physicians were M immediately dispatched to Moore's Corner from Providence.

Others of the injured 3 ; were removed to nearby residences. 'M Many of the victims of the accident were of English birth, and were 'M employed at the British Hosiery Compaay's mill and other textile factories jlj at Thornton. The motorman, W. J.

The weight of a number of Jg men on the running board and th 3 me* ~!|? mentum sufficed to derail the car and throw it Into the road. Seven of the passengers were pin-^ '-~l| ioned beneath the car and instantly killed. ONE N. g., the other o. k. Louisville Bars Can Sell Liquor on Sunday, Says Judge. Judge McCann, in the police court, at Louisville, Ky., handed down an opinion, holding that the statute for- .'3 bidding the sale of liquors on Sun- qg day was unconstitutional, but that another statute, providing for the gen- /|j Aral i-vhsArvsnop of thp Sabbath. Would raw make it illegal to sell liquors or do J? any other kind of work not absolute* ^ ly necessary upon the Sabbath day.
